The Board of Directors approved the audited financial results for FY 2025-26 (year ended March 31, 2026). Total revenue from operations declined to Rs. 8,335.36 lakhs from Rs. 8,979.55 lakhs in the previous year (down ~7.2%), mainly due to lower plantation segment revenue. However, profit after tax improved significantly to Rs. 2,194.35 lakhs from Rs. 1,851.00 lakhs (up ~18.5%), driven by better cost management and higher other income. EPS increased to Rs. 43.91 from Rs. 37.04. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 2.20 per share, taking the total dividend for the year to Rs. 3.20 per share (32%). Statutory auditors K.S. Aiyar & Co issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The company also appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP as internal auditors for FY 2026-27, replacing the previous firm.
Revenue declined year-on-year but profitability improved meaningfully, indicating better operational efficiency. The clean auditor opinion and shareholder-friendly dividend policy are positives. The appointment of a Big Four firm (Deloitte) as internal auditors suggests stronger governance controls going forward.
